Clear, gold, frothy pour @the source. Sweet onion, slight tropical, slight diacetyl nose. Onion, powdered sugar, herbal, not really that fruity or funked. Needs more time. Slight pith & salt on the white bread finish. More boring than bad.

Opaque, orange copper half pint pour @Vector. Diacetyl, apple, berry. Just too much popcorn. Earthy, margarine, popcorn, mild berry notes, weak twang. Kinda shit. First actually bad beer here.

Rounded pint glass @Vector, just as a brigade of kiddos take over the tap room. Opaque, very dark, nearly black, but brown. Excellent couple inches of petrified oatmeal head. Saline, soft earth, oatmeal nose. Taste is sooty earth, weak chicory, mellow herbal, soft but bright & lingering grapefruit rind, a bit too much bittersweet char. Too heavy imo. Tis just okay.

On tap @Vector. Hazy orange, extra frothy, rounded pint glass pour. Punchy Lemoncello & lemon Starburst nose. Obvious lemon is boozy & not unlike limoncello. Starchy, herbal bitter background, middling tartness, light wheat sweetness trailing, white wine, Lemonheads. Medium carb, slightly boozy, obvious flavors without nuance. Okay to good. The bottle is supposedly way better, so I said yes sir & took one home.

Rounded pint glass @Vector. Clear, bright, lacy, medium gold. Rounded pint glass pour. Subtle floral orange & dry malt nose. Bittersweet, leaning bitter. Slight floral, rindy, pithy mouth feel, menthol, dusty toast, faint acid on the finish. Not enough extra to be considered unique.

Rounded pint glass, on tap @Vector. Clear, medium gold, frothy lip. Floral, a little gym sock, orange oil, olive, weak passion fruit as it warms, but I'm kinda uncertain. Snappy, lemon herbal, sorta oily, light berry, pepper finish. New hops are complex & not completely understood, but tasty. Coarse filtered, medium carb, just boozy enough. Well played.

375ml glass from Vector. Plastic cup back at the hotel. Faintly hazy purple drank, almost still. Prickly nose. Heavy grenache, grape jam, lighthearted funk, apple, wood. Flat. Boozy dry red wine, mineral water, dusty saison, French oak spice, lime bitterness, a jab of tartness before getting hot, low but persistent acid. Would have been great if it didn't lose it's bubbles.

Single from Vector. Plastic cup back at the hotel. Hazy orange, big melted cream sort of head. Wheaty, orange, watery guava juice, bittergreen, vanilla. Half tart, juicy guava, sour oj, faint wheat, a little pepper, salt, low carb goopy, acidy finish. Okay to good.

Can from Vector. Clear plastic cup back at the hotel. Pours out sort of jellied, mostly clear medium gold, very frothy. Dusty malt, honey, weak citrus, weak pricky black pepper & green veg. Low bitter pale, dry toast, bit of steel, lingering chili heat. There's some faint acidity there that doesn't quite make me think lime. Frothy, suddy, a little sharp. Kinda okay.
